MTN Uganda has been named the official telecoms partner to supply necessary internet connectivity, with Uganda set to host the much awaited 19th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and G77 + China Third South Summits.
The Ugandan government expressed its gratitude to the telecom business today through Dr. Amina Zawedde, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of ICT.
In order to guarantee that delegates have access to Uganda’s most extensive voice and data service, she says MTN, in partnership with the Uganda Communications Commission and the Ministry of ICT, has supplied 500 “tourist” sim cards with free voice (120 minutes) and a lightning-fast data (5G) combo.
During the 2nd Uganda – South Africa Trade and Investment summit, which took place in September 2023, MTN invented the tourist sim.
